Wednesday, June 13, 2007. That is, " GorMost. Meaning city, and "Most" for, well,. I'd forgotten how dirty things like bright orange coats can get, especially in gritty-grimy St. Petersburg. Every metropolitan foray adds to your wardrobe, whether soot, car exhaust (belched by any or all of the older makes of Moskvich. Scum, sticky public transport. Residue or an allover spritz of.

ChristleZine: January 2007
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Monday, January 29, 2007. From West to Eesti. Our first view of the Estonian coast - we flew over it and then off to Helsinki. I'm now on Eesti Standard Time. Well, East European Standard Time. To be precise. Have zoomed up 14 degrees of latitude from Montreal's paltry 45 to Tallinn's 59. J and I caught a small glimpse of the Old Town as our ferry from Helsinki docked just before sunset (officially, at 4:20 PM, the " day. S, as we endeavoured to decipher the menu.

ChristleZine: Suffering From Periodical Cosmopolitanism
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007/06/suffering-from-periodical.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2007. Suffering From Periodical Cosmopolitanism. In April-May, Russia's newspaper and print kiosks started selling the 13th anniversary issue of Russian Cosmo. The Cyrillic in the red balloon on the cover crows "Cosmo is 13 Years Old". Apparently, covermodel "Tori Praver" is but 21 - a year younger than I was when I purchased the inaugural issue of the mag's Russian incarnation in May 1994 - thirteen, count 'em, thirteen years ago! Cover Features from 1994:. Cover Features from 2007:.

ChristleZine: Stockholm Syndrome: Case History
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007/05/stockholm-syndrome-case-history.html
Monday, May 21, 2007. Stockholm Syndrome: Case History. As I explained in a previous post. Next task was to find accommodation in Stockholm. Affordable. Mid-April, mid-week and two-person rooms in Stockholm. very difficult to find, indeed. Impossible, in fact. A couple of days of vigorous e-mailing produced the following notices of rejection. What it looks like now we are unfortunatelly fully booked on the 19 th and I can therefor not help you out with a room this date. Have a contines good day! Thanks f...

ChristleZine: Shawn
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007/06/shawn.html
Tuesday, June 5, 2007. I made another montage, entitled "Shawn" and featuring same. Also hails from Canada (Edmonton), and has been living in Tallinn on and off for several years. He's been teaching sound at the Arts Academy and also at the Baltic Film and Media School - it was he who tipped off John about the teaching position there. So many thanks to Shawn for that tip, which led to this trip! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Suffering From Periodical Cosmopolitanism. Head aega, Eestimaa.

ChristleZine: April 2007
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Monday, April 23, 2007. One is to nibble on at tea-time, the other is for making business. Can you tell which is which? Sunday, April 22, 2007. Saturday, April 21, 2007. Chapter 1: The Even Lonelier Planet. Apparently, no one tours the Island of Saaremaa. Which I opted for partly because of the oddball name; not sure where the Germans were staying). Museum in the Kuressaare castle. Chapter 2: The Peel 'n' Wheel. Aspasia was already (or still? Monday, April 9, 2007. The Yolk of Communism. Prior to egg-dip...

ChristleZine: This Little Piggie Went to Market

Tuesday, May 22, 2007. This Little Piggie Went to Market. Alas, the watch was on the premises, but still broken. It hadn't been sent anywhere. "The master's sick," I was told. "For the past three weeks? I asked, and filled John in on the goings-on. The seller overheard us and called out in English from the depths of his booth, "He is very old - 80 years!

ChristleZine: Vilniaus, Lietuva
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007/03/vilniaus-lietuva.html
Sunday, March 11, 2007. Faces the street, though the bulk of the venue is downstairs in a labyrinth of carpeted and chandeliered caves. We took a trip by city bus to Vilnius's outer burbs to visit. The most famous Lithuanian dish is "cepelinai" - literally, zeppelins - after which they're named. Think gummy potato paste football filled with a chunk of meat or curd - and you've got it. Not that "dirigible", really, especially since they're additionally weighed down with sour cream and cracklings s...Let i...

ChristleZine: Head aega, Eestimaa
http://christlezine.blogspot.com/2007/06/head-aega-eestimaa.html
Monday, June 4, 2007. Head aega, Eestimaa. Then it was off to Cafe Pushkin. For a plate of their delicious salmon pel'meni and a final mayo-laden, boiled egg, prune, walnut and smoked chicken-filled "salad". We crossed over to Texas Honky-Tonk. White nights season had definitely started to creep in - though we were tired, we thought it appropriate to say "head aega" (good-bye) to the almost-bright night and to Estonia from the Stroomi Rand.
